Alumni Follow Diverse Career Paths
There are many career paths one can follow after earning a degree from BCMB.
Chris Bach (’10) was recognized at the Volunteer 40 under 40 celebration this past spring. After obtaining his BS in BCMB, he went on to get an MS in kinesiology at UT and a PhD in exercise physiology from Florida State University. This was followed by postdoctoral research with the Nebraska Athletic Performance Lab. He is currently the director of performance science for the Jacksonville Jaguars football team.
Another alumnus, Evan Reddick (PhD ’09), followed a very different career path. He carried out his doctoral research in the lab of Professor Barry Bruce studying chloroplast protein import. Then he was recruited to the University of Texas Southwestern (UTSW) Medical Center to explore vulnerabilities in breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Reddick also was dedicated to professional development, leading the Career Development Committee and later serving as president of the postdoctoral association. He co-founded the UTSW Consulting Club, which focused on strategic thinking, business strategy, and industry careers.
After an internship at Boston Consulting Group, Reddick transitioned to the pharmaceutical industry. He held several roles at AstraZeneca, before moving to a small biopharma organization, Stemline Therapeutics. In 2023 Reddick returned to large pharma as the senior director and medical head of leukemia at Takeda Pharmaceuticals.
